Who is stronger lammergeier or condor?
If the two species were to get into a fight, the lammergeier/bearded vulture would probably win.
Lammergeiers are old world vultures and more closely related to eagles and hawks. They have stronger feet than new world vultures (like the California Condor) to carry large pieces of bones high into the air and are also more protected due to the feathers on their heads.
New world vultures like the Condor are more related to storks. They have weaker feet, not meant for grasping, and can often fall prey to stronger raptors such as eagles.
